Chapter 302: Bloodline Suppression
Editor: Atlas Studios
The moment Rayquaza’s breath collided with the bow of the ship, the green and red energies reacted to each other, forming an energy ball that constantly swelled and destroyed everything that touched it.
Under the wind pressure, Rayquaza carried Jiang Li and the other two away quickly.
By the time the energy dissipated, the dragon statue at the bow of the ship had already been completely destroyed.
However, what was surprising was that only the dragon statue was destroyed. The head structure of the ship was still quite intact.
This level of attack was actually nothing to this warship.
The strength of this warship far exceeded Jiang Li’s expectations.
The background of the Dragon Transformation Island was a little special.
It was said that before the spiritual qi recovery, they were once a group of extremely rampant pirates. Their actions were ruthless and bloodthirsty, and everywhere they passed, it could be said that not even chickens and dogs were spared.
Their luck was really good. Their nest was in a former Dragon Cave Mystic Realm.
After the spiritual qi recovery and the appearance of the Dragon Cave Mystic Realm, they naturally obtained opportunities. They were the first batch of lucky people to step on the path of cultivation.
With the help of the treasures excavated from the Dragon Cave Mystic Realm and the powerful mobility of the fleet on the sea, they became even more fearless.
Their warships sailed on the sea at first, but later on, they sailed in the sky. Their shipbuilding standards had always been steadily at the top of the Eastern Region.
Even the navy of the cultivation empire could not do anything to them.
The last method was actually to issue an edict, allowing this group of vicious pirates to have an official identity and gradually begin to clear their names.
In the end, after the Immortal Cultivation Empire collapsed, they relied on their influence in the outer sea to effectively resist the Armored Trolls.
With this, they joined the Divine Judgment Hall and obtained quite a bit of authority.
But their pirate-like chaotic attitude did not change.
To them, strength prevailed over hard farming. From time to time, they would even plunder the coastal areas a few times. Due to their importance, the Divine Judgment Hall had always turned a blind eye.
Previously, they had joined forces with a few other large factions to attack Fengdu Ghost City, which could be considered provoking a group of ghost kings.
Now, the Ghost King Desolate Ground had begun to corrode outwards, and countless ghost soldiers were trying to attack the human cities as revenge.
Whoever caused the trouble would clean up the mess. The Divine Judgment Hall requested these few factions to send people to control the situation.
This was also the reason why they were stationed here and did not leave after the battle.
Jiang Li did not expect that they would escape the ghost soldiers’ pursuit but be blocked by the people of the Dragon Transformation Island.
“Leave quickly! The Dragon Transformation Island often hunts dragon blood cultivators. They won’t let you off.”
Yang Ruozhi reminded him from behind. Jiang Li did not stop and turned around before quickly flying into the distance.
The Dragon Transformation Island had a long history and deep roots, and it was an existence that the current Jiang Li could not afford to offend.
It was one thing if it was only a few juniors, but if they startled the old fellows they were guarding here, it would be difficult for him to survive even if he used all his trump cards.
Now, all three of his clones were with him. If he was wiped out, he would really have to say goodbye to this life in the Nine Provinces.
After reincarnating, if the yaksha clone played with it, Alliance Leader Jiang would be promoted to the Asura World.
“Haha, what a pure dragon blood aura. This is a huge fish!”
“I like those who dare to attack the flying ship of the Dragon Transformation Island!”
Not only were the disciples of the Dragon Transformation Island not angry, but they also roared excitedly. Hunting human cultivators was their favorite activity.
Then, the warship tilted its bow, and more than ten large whale hunting crossbows fired at Jiang Li.
Although these fish spears shot out from the side strings were not as huge as the main crossbow at the bow of the ship, they were more dangerous with all kinds of special fish spears.
Some could split a fish spear into more than a hundred fish spears in the air, some would explode with electric shock and frost after landing, and some would automatically be injected with the spiritual qi poison after landing.
The front end of these fish spears had hooks, and behind them were tough ropes. Once they were pierced, there was really no way out.
Jiang Li told the Wood Dragon Rayquaza to fly at full speed without dodging.
He turned around to face the back. One hand was covered in black-scaled armor, and the other was wrapped in the imprisoning lock.
Every time a spear shot over, he would punch it.
Those fish spears were thicker than his waist and were easily more than ten meters long. Under the enhancement of the Whale Hunting Crossbows, their power was definitely not ordinary.
However, Jiang Li had ascended the Star Tower and obtained 4,000 traces of the Human Emperor’s Blood Qi.
Among them, 3,685 Human Emperor’s Blood Qi opened up most of the meridians and apertures that even the current cultivation world had not explored.
The remaining 315 Human Emperor’s Blood Qi entered Jiang Li’s heart and mixed with his dragon blood.
Under the automatic refinement of the 3,685 Human Emperor’s Blood Qi, Jiang Li’s body was transforming towards the physique of the human race of the ancient Shang Dynasty.
He only felt that his energy was endless, and his strength had increased countless times. In any case, he could easily slap this fish spear away with his physical strength.
Seeing that the fish spears were too densely packed, he raised his hand to catch a fish spear. It collided with him with such heavy force, but it only shook his wrist slightly before completely dissipating.
Then, he held the fish spear and waved it, blocking all the attacks that shot towards Rayquaza’s body.
The acceleration of the large flying ship required time, while Rayquaza was much more agile. After advancing, the speed of the wooden dragon was not slow at all.
Not long after Rayquaza flew at full speed, it was about to leave the range of the other party’s spear.
However, it was obvious that the Dragon Transformation Island would not let them off so easily.
“Little ones, whoever can capture him today and throw him on my bed, I’ll reward him with ten Dragon Transformation Pills!”
At the top of the flagpole of the Black Dragon Beast’s skeleton flag, a female cultivator with wheat-colored skin had appeared out of nowhere.
She looked at Jiang Li’s strong physique, her eyes filled with excitement.
She held a curved blade in her hand as she slashed out a piercingly cold blade light in Jiang Li’s direction.
Jiang Li sensed a dense danger from the blade light. The two drops of Asura Lord’s blood in his hand had already begun to burn, and he was prepared to erupt at any moment.
However, that blade light actually looked quite aimless. It turned a thousand feet away from them and shot straight into the sky.
Then, it exploded in the sky above Jiang Li’s head, descending like a storm. With just a thought, it landed on them.
It was impossible for a cultivator of that level to have such poor accuracy.
He dabbed some of the water droplets on his body and placed them at the tip of his nose. The smell of these water droplets was a smelly salty smell.
“This… is seawater? Oh no!”
Jiang Li had just realized something when the wooden dragon beneath him started to fall. A status appeared on his status panel at the same time.
[Affected by Spirit Dispersing Water. Added Status: Air Freezing Spirit Dispersion]
[Air Freezing Spirit Dispersion: Body becomes heavy, Air manipulation spell techniques will fail. Duration: 6 hours] (− +)
[The Immaculate Body has taken effect. The Spirit Dispersing Water has been removed, and the Air Freezing Spirit Dispersion has been expelled.]
This was the standard ability of large forces to restrict mobility in the air.
Compared to the fixed restrictions of the cultivation cities in the Great Mountain Region, the large forces of the Eastern Region would choose to forcefully restrict the air with array formations, spell techniques, or artifacts.
Be it defense or pursuit, they were very effective.
This Spirit Dispersing Water looked like ordinary seawater, but the liquid was actually extremely sticky and heavy.
Moreover, when attached to the surface of a human body or artifact, there would be a troublesome Spirit Dispersion effect. That was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the flying spell technique that required stability.
The Wood Dragon Rayquaza was soaked in heavy water. It struggled in the air and fell.
Jiang Li was not much better. He possessed the Immaculate Body, so the Spirit Dispersing Water that covered his body could not affect him.
However, his Cloud-Treading Boots were not resistant. His ability to step on air had already lost 90% of its effectiveness. It was clearly unrealistic to use it to run in the air.
On the large ship, a group of cultivators with some fish scales and strange shapes on their bodies cried out as they jumped down from the warship and walked on the water, rushing towards Jiang Li.
At this moment, Jiang Li could actually put away the wooden dragon and release the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword to fly on his sword.
However, he looked at the female cultivator standing on the flagpole and finally gave up on this idea.
Now, the Dragon Transformation Island felt that Jiang Li was a turtle in a jar, so they did not send experts to pursue him. Once they discovered that he still had a way to fly and was extremely fast, that meant that he might provoke stronger existences.
Therefore, before he had absolute confidence, Jiang Li still planned to temporarily show weakness to the enemy.
He grabbed the dragon horn of the Rayquaza and smashed into a rain forest beside the Black River with Yang Ruozhi.
This kind of high altitude descent was naturally nothing to Jiang Li and Rayquaza.
However, he did not expect that Yang Ruozhi would actually be able to maintain her body light under the circumstances of being affected by the Spirit Dispersing Water. She was also calm when descending.
Jiang Li opened the coffin and allowed the wooden dragon to enter first, and then he took out a pile of artifacts and placed them before the other party.
“Miss Yang, what artifacts are you used to using? I have a few here. Take them first.”
Yang Ruozhi’s injuries recovered much faster than expected. In just a few days, the spiritual qi she released earlier was no longer delayed.
If she had two more artifacts, she would already have a certain level of ability to protect herself.
In the end, Yang Ruozhi chose two short swords and hid them in her sleeves. The cultivation method of the Thousand Crane Tower was more towards agility and speed, so they were considered nimble cultivators.
The two of them threw down the trap and ran far away.
Jiang Li had to leave the perception range of the top cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Island before he could escape through the air.
The cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Island behind them could control their artifacts to pursue them, so their speed was inevitably much faster than Jiang Li and the other two.
In next to no time, they arrived at the place where Jiang Li had fallen earlier, and they directly formed an encirclement in the air before descending to the ground and surrounding him.
The interaction between the dragon blood was like a magnet that attracted both sides. Even if Jiang Li was in the dense forest, it was very difficult for him to hide his tracks.
Sure enough, not long after, three burly cultivators with fish gills on their faces blocked his path.
In their hands, they each held a serrated saber more than two meters long lined with sharp shark teeth.
This was the common trait of the cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Island.
It was naturally impossible for those cultivators to possess dragon blood.
As for cultivating the cultivation method of the Dragon Transformation Island, dragon blood was a necessary condition. The higher the purity of the dragon blood, the more there was. The faster one’s cultivation speed would be, and the stronger one would be.
Therefore, they definitely needed to extract the bloodline from the dragon blood creatures and infuse it into their bodies.
Jiang Li’s Beast Blood Diagram could do this, but the efficiency of conversion was a little low.
If Jiang Li did not have a status bar that could be modified, even if he used the blood essence later on, he would only be able to produce a drop of dragon blood.
One had to know that the bloodline source he used was a Dragon Tortoise with a relatively deep bloodline.
Although the Dragon Transformation Island had a sea dragon, it was clearly impossible to provide the blood of flood dragons to most ordinary disciples.
The only ones they could choose were the Dragon Shark, Dragon Eel, Dragon Whale, and other dragon blood descendants near Dragon Transformation Island.
In order to inherit as much dragon blood as possible from these sea beasts, they could not bear to refine it too ruthlessly.
That was because while refining the impurities, it would definitely damage the dragon blood. This was a loss that they could not accept.
Therefore, most of the Dragon Transformation Island cultivators would more or less have the characteristics of sea beasts.
For example, these three were clearly cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Island who used the Dragon Shark bloodline.
“Big Brother, do you think eating this kid’s limbs will be worth ten Dragon Transformation Pills?”
“If we eat all of them, Captain Sasha will be angry. I think we should eat one of his hands and one of his feet!”
The three shark-faced cultivators spoke terrifying things to each other. Each of them held a saber and had already formed a formation.
The corners of his mouth split open to reveal sharp shark teeth, and then his figure instantly vanished on the spot. He dragged the three serrated sabers and charged towards Jiang Li who was in the middle.
The formation was like a Dragon Shark besieging its prey. The three huge blades crossed each other, and no matter which side Jiang Li dodged, he had to face one of them.
However, right when their shark teeth blades approached Jiang Li, the three of them were like insects that had been frozen by amber. They suddenly froze on the spot and were unable to move at all.
They were trembling. Their faces were filled with shock and regret.
After that, a jet black light flew out from between Jiang Li’s brows, and it instantly spun around and shattered their brains.
This dragon blood could strengthen the body, accelerate cultivation, break through the pressure, and increase combat strength.
Dragon blood was good in many ways, but when lesser dragon blood came into contact with pure dragon blood, the intense bloodline suppression could instantly make people blind and become fish on the chopping board.
In the beginning, the dragon blood in Jiang Li’s body was refined over and over again, using the Beast Blood Diagram to nourish it.
It was a very pure dragon blood to begin with.
Later on, Jiang Li obtained the flesh and blood of the Raksha Black Wyrm that was comparable to the Soul Formation realm. After filtering it with his clone and Rayquaza, he absorbed it through the Nine Nether Earth Fruit and transformed it into the Dragon Blood Earth Fruit to consume.
This greatly accelerated the process of his Dragon Blood Essence nourishment. In a short period of time, not only did the purity of the dragon blood in his body increase further, it had already reached the exaggerated 96 drops.
When he looked at the three cultivators before him, their dragon blood was even inferior to the blood of the Dragon Shark, and their quantity was far inferior to Jiang Li.
After Alliance Leader Jiang emitted the dragon blood aura, they were suppressed by the high-grade bloodline and could not even move a finger.
